INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS
Give individual advice
Separate attorneys advise the surrogate and intended parents. Qualified insurance, tax, and medical professionals address questions within their licenses.
ESCROW
Manage funds separately
A licensed or otherwise appropriate independent escrow provider manages funded accounts and releases according to the signed agreement.
Rules, coverage, and contract terms vary by state, carrier, provider, and individual circumstances. Confirm your own situation with the appropriate independent professional before relying on general information.
